Reduce wind-blown litter from your blue box!

Put your material at the curb by 7 AM the morning of your collection day, instead of the night before

Don't overload your blue box; keep material below the rim

Bundle newspapers and place on top of lighter items

Flatten small cardboard boxes (e.g. cereal or tissue boxes)

Additional blue boxes can be purchased at any Markham Recycling Depot and you may also drop off your blue box recycling

Write your address on your blue boxes in permanent marker – this makes it easier for them to be returned if they blow away

Reminder: Do not bag recyclables; material must be loose in your blue box. Plastic bags are not accepted in the blue box. Drop off your plastic shopping bags at any Markham Recycling Depot for recycling
